ANT-915-IPW1-RPS

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-915-IPW1-RPS is an external whip antenna from the IPW Series, designed for ISM band telemetry applications. It operates within a frequency range of 902 MHz to 930 MHz and features a gain of 2.7 dBi with a VSWR of 1.8. The component has a 50 Ohm impedance and supports up to 2 W of power. It utilizes an RP-SMA connector and offers an IP67 rating for outdoor durability. Operating temperatures range from -30°C to +70°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omni-directional radiation pattern suitable for telemetry links
• Hinged whip design allows for flexible orientation adjustment
• IP67 rated enclosure ensures protection against dust and water ingress
• Compatible with LPWA and ISM band remote sensor networks

Antennas RF Applications

• Remote sensor network deployments
• LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) communication systems
• ISM band telemetry data collection
• Outdoor environmental monitoring stations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the RP-SMA connector type matches the receiving equipment interface, as it differs from standard SMA plugs. Confirm the specific frequency requirement aligns with the 902-930 MHz operational range. Ensure the mounting environment supports the hinged mechanism's movement and meets the IP67 sealing requirements for long-term outdoor reliability.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a hinged whip configuration is required for directional adjustment in ISM band applications. It is appropriate for systems needing moderate gain (2.7 dBi) and robust weatherproofing. Consider the RP-SMA connector compatibility during system integration planning. This unit is distinct from the N-plug variants in the same series.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the TE Connectivity Linx IPW Series of outdoor antennas. The series covers cellular, Wi-Fi, and LPWA/ISM applications across a broad frequency spectrum. The ANT-915-IPW1-RPS specifically targets the sub-GHz ISM band, offering a specialized solution for telemetry compared to the broader multi-band WLAN options available in the lineup.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

ANT-915-IPW1-NP serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical specifications but uses an N Plug connector instead of RP-SMA. Verify connector compatibility before substitution.
